Despite the overused term of endless summer replaying on commercials on the television, it never felt like it was endless. In fact, it was the shortest and quickest three months she'd experience. Between work, hanging out with her closest friends, and the annual vacation to experience the golden and hot shores of California, she had very little time to recollect herself and take a breath as she exited her car and walked on campus.
She maintained a bit of a pep in her step despite pulling herself out of bed a mere half an hour ago, passing by some familiar faces while others seemed fresh. New students that would be immediately shoved in a line telling of what they were meant to be for the next four years, whether it be the goths that stood in small crowds in the hallways, or the athletes that would leave their mark on the fields and record books.
What drew her from her thoughts was hearing her name, a familiar voice that she's only heard in classes and on the field egging his team on to victory. "Logan, nice to see you again" Kinsey began speaking, a small smile creasing on her lips. Logan Beck, star player and big boss among the jocks, or so she assumed. Her short term crush freshman year that ended with her simply dismissing it with the wave of a hand was now in front of her, and for some reason she felt small. "Yeah i'm doing alright, but how about yourself? How was the break?" she pushed herself to ask, hoping to keep herself occupied with the conversation.

After parking her truck in the student parking lot and hoping out, she breathed in the air of the early morning with slight anguish. Another year of listening to boring lectures from boring teachers, cliques crowding the hallways and begrudgingly letting you through, but there was also graduation to look forward to. Her final year in this place, and it was bittersweet.
Lilian scanned the crowds of people on campus for any familiar faces, someone to catch up with. And yet nothing yielded the results she wanted. I can always see them in class she thought to herself as she slowly walked along the maze of concrete, watching new faces pass by and spotting some she's only ever seen in class or in the hallways. Maybe she could stop and talk to a sophomore or junior, introduce herself and hopefully make a friend in the process.

Nodding a bit in initial response to her returned greeting, he would feel less tense since she indeed did know who he was; he certainly hoped so, especially since they had been directly correlated through sports for the past couple years. Observing her familiar features for a moment longer, Logan would grin slightly, both brows now lifted in an unsure manner.
"Break? I mean, it was okay- I like break a lot, but I also get bored pretty fast. No 'big games' or anything. Those all usually happen during the school year." He'd admit, scratching at the back of his neck briefly. "Practicing is important and all, but I like actually playing the game, y'know?" Logan would sigh, still keeping a friendly demeanor set however. She wasn't someone he'd be embarrassed to be caught seen around; she was one of the cheerleaders, after all, and there was nothing low-class about them.
"I'm guessing cheerleading was the same? Since there's no games, I'd assume you and the others practiced, too.. I don't know about that stuff, so yeah." He would add, a small cackle escaping his lips as he spoke.

It was likely one of the worst days of his life; having to return to the place that he despised most. Vacation was an aspect of school that he took to heart; returning was a whole other story. The only positive thing about a new year was that he was no longer a freshman. Noticing that everyone seemed to be dotted around outside, Miles would attempt to recognize anyone who seemed familiar, then he remembered that he never really got around to making any friends during his first year.
Simply deciding to stay by himself, the sophomore would sit down by one of the trees in the campus's outside territory, setting his backpack beside him and crossing his legs comfortably. Leaning his back against the base of the tree, Miles would situate himself there for the time given before classes would start, resting an elbow amongst one of his knees in order to use a hand to keep his face lazily propped.

Kinsey snorted a bit at his response, the typical dwelling of sports still on Logan's mind was evident in the conversation. "Yeah, I guess I understanding wanting to get in there and...wrestle grown men to the ground" she teased him gently as she glanced back up at him, brushing her hair back with her hand as he switched the subject to cheerleading.
"We only practice here and there, maybe a week out of the month during the summer, we don't really change much in our routines so, it's quite boring" she murmured in the end, feeling the awkwardness creep in as she attempted to think of something else to mention. "So um, did you do anything special? Like go out of state or hang out with a significant other." Her words faltered as she failed to support the conversation much more, shifting slightly to stand up a bit straighter. She didn't know him well enough to know if he had annual vacations or parties to attend during the break, and that also came with not knowing what to talk about.

After a few moments of standing around, she eventually caught the eye of Gwen Jensen, the queen of high school who despite her status wasn't exactly one to push away someone for a short conversation, or so she assumed. She'd only ever talked to Gwen during classes through team projects and occasional sharing of notes if one of them missed a slide or two, so maybe, or at least she hoped, Gwen would at least recognize her and be willing to talk.
"Gwen," she began as she made her way towards the girl, a casual pep in her step as she eventually stood a few feet from her. Need to keep some space in order to not make it seem awkward or threatening. "You excited? This being the last year and all in this concrete maze?"

Mr. Carter had greatly enjoyed his three months off, to say the least. It wasn’t that he hated his job; he loved it. He couldn’t ask for a better place to work, or for better students to teach. Teenagers could just be a bit overwhelming sometimes, even for a man like him. He leaned against the entrance to the school, watching as the students began to arrive.

Daniel sighed, making his way into the school and heading towards the teacher’s lounge. Most teachers had been working on their lesson plans all summer. Daniel Carter? He’d say at home and watched Netflix, occasionally venturing out to get food or see his sisters. He’d even been on a date or two. He enter the teacher’s lounge, grinning upon seeing Katrina. “Good morning gorgeous! Happy to be back?” He asked playfully.

xxxxxplaying his phone, travis was, in fact, painfully oblivious to the wor
ld. even without headphones or anything to block out noise, he could ca
re less about anything going on around him. now, when he stayed up unt
il probably around one in the morning, that was a different disconnect f
rom the outer world than it was right now. that was his laziness showing
itself.

swearing under his breath, he threw his phone into the pocket of his ba
ckpack and grumpily turn away. the game he was playing was a war gam
e, and he died. the sad thing is that this was his natural reaction.

no longer distracted by the device, travis stood and looked around for so
meone to talk to. being deprived of people all summer except his parent
s was really beginning to get to him. he wasn't very close to anyone that
seemed totally approachable, but there was someone sitting alone by so
me trees. they had a bored look on their face, and travis, being one to t
ry and cheer others up, made his way over.

"school's so stupid," he murmured, still standing but looking down at the
guy. "they teach us things we don't need to know. math? i'll never use
it a day in my life out of here. well, maybe i will. but what about the
big questions? like, does the postman deliver his own mail?"

My break consisted of barely nothing. What about you?”she replied. she took another sip of her coffee looking up at daniel.

A smile parted on Lilian's lips as the girl responded, satisfied that she could waste some time talking until the bell rang. At least she was welcoming to her approach. "I can't wait to get out of here, but then again after this i'll be shipped off to college for another torturous four years," she began as she relaxed a bit, her hands stuffed into the pockets of her high rise shorts as she continued speaking "But at least i'll be doing something I enjoy, y'know? How about you, what do you plan on doing once you get out of here?"

“Professional dog training. My parents want me to go into the horse business, but my heart has always been set on working with dogs. “ Gwen replied. “I think they are just sad that I won’t be carrying on the family business. Not that it matters much to me. Horses are great, but I prefer working with dogs way more.”

Daniel began making a cup of coffee for himself, humming quietly. “Same here. Got rejected by three different people and tormented by my plethora of sisters. Don’t get me wrong, I love them. However, let’s just say I’m happy I no longer live with any of them.” He replied, glancing over at the English teacher. “In my laziness, I didn’t make a lesson plan. Looks like I’m winging it again this year.” He smirked.
